    Saffith already said that the Waitfrme() instruction is planned as supported, and unchanged, on PZC.

    Only in new scripts, though. Since the current ones are directly translated from C++, they won't use it.
    I'm expecting to use a totally different interface for new scripts, which may mean a separate set of classes. Not too sure yet how it'll work out, really.
    Edit: Then again, there are a lot of things in LinkClass that call advanceframe()... I'm not sure how that's going to work.

    It's being translated with minimal changes AND rewritten. The rewritten versions are separate and will be created later.

    So wait, if scripts are going to use a separate interface why bother moving built-in enemies again?

    This is why I drink Gleeok, cause the two devs don't know what the other one is doing.
    Communication is a must if your this is gonna be open sourced @Saffith .

    I have no idea what's going on right now. I took a break for a while after the gtk gui and now there's flying cars and talking dogs and shit. @_@

    ...and what exactly does ZC need with a starship?!

    How is this not something we've discussed?
    Whatever. We don't have to do this. I really don't care that much.

    I probably just forgot. >_> ...Which is why you're in charge of the enemies anyway. They're such a mess in general it's pretty easy to get confused, in my defense.

    I mainly want to get a script processor in with some preprocessor support and allow ZC to compile scripts on the fly. The whole cycle of open zquest->compile scripts->save->load in zc->enter cheat->goto screen->test script->tweak script->repeat process is really annoying.

    After that I don't know. Maybe replace ffcs with screen scripts or something.
